Nothing gives a more relaxing and soothing feeling than the feel and sound of water falling in your surroundings. Mini fountain, or bubbling sphere can be a great source to add a water feature to your tiny backyard. They are self-containing and do not require much maintenance. Big fountains or waterfalls require more maintenance and you will need to install a filter and power source to it.

Having a pool in the backyard is a dream of many homeowners. However, small backyards often demolish those dreams. But small soaking pools can make your pool dreams come true. These pools are smaller in size and can be easily installed. However, you won’t be able to swim in it. These soaking pools are good for dips and lounging in the hot days.

If you don’t like the grass or you don’t want to have a high-maintenance backyard landscape that needs to be watered and mowed regularly, skip the grass.
Yes, you read it right!! Having grass is not necessary for your backyard landscape. You can swap it with pebble, concrete or wooden flooring or a mixture and with grass. And you can always add the touch of greenery by adding pots or vines on the walls.
